A public consultation is underway on a new regional transport plan for South East Wales.
The Cardiff Capital Region (CCR) - which includes the Vale of Glamorgan - says it's aiming to establish an "efficient, affordable and low-carbon" transport network.
The regional body, made up of ten local councils, is inviting residents to have their say on the proposals - including its obejctives and policies - as the Welsh Government launches a new approach allowing local leaders more control over transport spending in their area.
A number of transport grants, currently overseen in Cardiff Bay, are set to be devolved from next year.
CCR says its draft plan is aimed at unlocking opportunities, connecting people and businesses and supporting job creation, as well as a "carbon-neutral" region, where walking and cycling are favoured for shorter journeys.
Rhondda Cynon Taf council leader Andrew Morgan, chair of CCR's transport sub-committee, said: "CCR has already invested millions in Metro improvements and led the way on low-emission transport."
"But transport isn’t just about getting from A to B, it’s about unlocking opportunities, connecting businesses, creating jobs, and making our communities stronger and fairer."
"Our regional transport plan will help us deliver a greener, smarter, and more inclusive transport network that supports economic growth and tackles climate challenge. We need to hear from those who use, or want to use, regional transport, so we encourage people to join in the conversation."
Similar consultations are being held on regional transport plans in North, Mid and South West Wales.
Transport Secretary, Ken Skates, said: “Empowering local councils at the most appropriate level to deliver on the transport plans for their region is absolutely the right thing to do."
"With their local knowledge and understanding they are best placed to understand local needs and ensure that the investments made are putting people and communities first.”
To take part in the consultation, visit the Cardiff Capital Region website by Monday 19th May.
The Welsh Government says final plans on what will be delivered in the South East over the next five years will be announced later this summer.
